In June this year I was invited by Ian Bray, OXFAM's Senior Press Officer, to visit Burkina Faso.
He commissioned me to do a series of drawings highlighting the food crisis in the Sahel. During the week long journey through the West African country I met people whose lives are affected by the food crisis and the armed conflict in neighboring Mali.

Back in my studio in London, I used the reference photos and interviews I gathered on the trip to create a series of pencil drawings (colored on the computer) portraying some of the people I met.

The drawings (one cover, two spreads) got published on the 5th of December in the "G2" supplement of "The Guardian".
